Stress, anxiety, and depression can be understood as symptoms of a dysregulated system. Yoga gives us tools to positively affect the physical body, pranic body, and conscious and unconscious mind, all leading to a more balanced state of being.

One of the best ways to learn how to take care of yourself is to move in new and unusual ways. And there is nothing more uplifting to your spirit and to your sense of self-care than to move in inspired ways to inspiring and uplifting music in the company of others.

Dance out the limitations of the mind and the tensions of the body. Leave feeling more whole and more like yourself–the self you most long to be.

As we collectively better understand the diverse impacts of trauma in our bodyminds, the call for dynamic, embodied practices for survivors expands. Within this landscape, Embodied Possibilities is a 6-week series for folks interested in a non-verbal container to explore the possibility of having a body through choiceful movement. Rooted in research in complex trauma, neurophysiology, and attachment, as well as yoga, Embodied Possibilities provides a pathway to transform embodied trauma patterns through practicing personal agency in a container attuned to safety.  

In these monthly gatherings, Jorie will work with a combination of crystal bowls, temple bells, and chimes. These instruments work with the principles of resonance, entrainment, and cellular healing in promoting general relaxation, resetting the nervous system, restoring mental clarity, and aiding in cellular restoration. All sessions will be touch-free and mindful of potential reactivity to dissonance, binaurals, and overplaying.

Immerse yourself in this blissful workshop of movement and sound meditation. This 90-minute workshop combines a revitalizing yoga practice with the deeply relaxing and restorative benefits of sound meditation. You’ll leave feeling grounded yet uplifted–your body rejuvenated and your mind at peace.

As the mind becomes increasingly more dominant we often connect less and less to the innate wisdom of our bodies. Supported by music, this modality of breathwork guides us to be deeply in touch with our energetic body, helping to clear stuck, stagnant energy, accumulated stress and anxiety–allowing us to release old patterns and arrive fully in the present moment, welcoming new ways of being.

This "retreat" will be a chance to step out of the every day and into a zone of deep relaxation. The retreat will begin with gentle movement that will transition participants into a specific type of guided meditation called yoga nidra. Often translated as "yogic sleep", yoga nidra is a state of relaxation, where the body "sleeps", the mind remains conscious, and deep restoration and rejuvenation can take place. 

An exciting collaboration with Forbes Library!
